The results of the 2016 U.S. Automotive, Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL)™ Study have been announced and three Nissan models ranked highly in their respective segments. The 2016 Nissan Titan was named to the top of the Large Light Duty Pickup segment with a score of 867 points, the Maxima was named to the top of the Large Car segment with a score of 857 points, and the Altima claimed the number two spot in the Midsize Car segment with a score of 824 points.
“It is gratifying to see three vehicles that are either all-new or redesigned receive such high marks from customers,” said Christian Meunier, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing and Operations, U.S.A., Nissan North America, Inc. “And along with our best-selling sedans and crossovers, Nissan is providing more options as we launch the ‘Year of the Truck’ with our all-new TITAN and TITAN XD trucks.”
This annual study is based on owner evaluations of their vehicles after the first 90 days of ownership. The owners evaluate their vehicle within 77 different attributes and the results for each model are combined together to determine an overall score based on a 1,000-point scale.
